History

Four Star Transportation’s roots go back to the earliest highways cleared and buildings constructed in the Detroit Skyline. Founded by the C.J. Rogers Co. in 1920, the construction and transportation businesses were purchased by the founder’s son-in-law, William H. Leoni, who became the head of C.J. Rogers in 1974. In 1994, current owner and president Michael C. Leoni, William’s son, took over the helm and re-named the company, Four Star Transportation.
